Minnesota
Telehealth & In-Person
for those in the Bluff Country
Compassionate care, grounded in the values Minnesotans live by.
​
Life in Minnesota builds a certain kind of strength. Whether you're navigating snowstorms, showing up for your community, or quietly carrying more than you let on, there's a resilience here that's deeply rooted. But even the most capable folks need support sometimes.
​
At Haelen Mental Health, we understand that asking for help doesn't come easy—especially when you're used to handling things on your own. Looking for a psychiatrist or a psychiatric nurse practitioner near you can be difficult. We're here to offer care that respects your independence, honors your values, and meets you where you are.
​
Whether you're connecting from the Twin Cities, outstate towns, or the quiet calm of lake country, you're not alone. Our licensed providers offer psychiatric care and supportive therapy that's thoughtful, discreet, and grounded in what matters most: your well-being.
We're here for you.
Let’s start a conversation—because mental health care should feel like coming in from the cold.
Tara Ostromencki, DNP, RN, PMHNP-BC
Tara is a proud Wisconsin native who has spent her life along the Driftless and Bluff Coast regions. As an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she is deeply committed to giving back to the communities that have shaped her. Licensed to treat individuals across the lifespan, she brings extensive experience in assessing and managing a wide range of mental health concerns. Tara’s journey into behavioral medicine began early. Growing up with a parent who lived with severe mental illness gave her a profound sense of empathy, resilience, and an unwavering belief in the power of community, family, and friendship to support mental wellness.
​
Her approach to care is both integrative and evidence-based. Tara believes in the essential connection between mind and body in healing, and tailors treatment plans to reflect this philosophy. Depending on individual needs, care may include up-to-date psychiatric medication, natural treatments such as supplements, nutrition and exercise recommendations, and stress management strategies.
​
Each treatment plan is personalized, collaborative, and designed to empower clients in a supportive, stigma-free environment. During the initial visit, clients can expect a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, thoughtful discussion of their treatment goals, and clear education about their diagnosis and available options.
Tara sees individuals aged 6+ via Telehealth and in person in the Wisconsin office, located in Lacrosse.
